HISTORY:
Serra placed 20th six years ago for The Death of Louis XIV.
Blunt had not earned the AVB's favor since 2015, though she'd appeared in the top 20 six times up to that point (as a supporting actor in all but one instance): 10th for My Summer of Love (2005), 4th for The Devil Wears Prada (2006), 10th again for Looper (2012), 10th yet again for Edge of Tomorrow (2014), 20th for Into the Woods (also 2014), and 12th in the lead category—finally!—for Sicario (2015).
Driver's catching up to her quickly, here getting his sixth nod in the past nine years, having previously landed at #17 in Supporting for While We're Young (2015), #2 for both Paterson (2016) and Marriage Story (2019), #7 in Supporting for BlacKkKlansman (2018), and #3 for Annette (2021). Garner placed 7th three years ago for her previous collaboration with Kitty Green, The Assistant. Lynch is new (and was a very famous pro football player, I now learn; yes, I was genuinely unaware of that. Not a sports guy).
To my surprise, Kelly Fremon Craig (using her entire name here to avoid looking up whether her surname is Craig or Fremon Craig) did not place for The Edge of Seventeen's screenplay. It got only two votes. Not that I voted for it, either, but it's the kind of well-liked film that usually gets a Screenplay nod even while missing in Picture and Director. (Steinfeld did place, though.)
